  • Patent number: 11883054
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to treat a tissue by automatically linearly oscillating an instrument into a target site. A system may include a body having a length and configured to receive a portion of the instrument guide member having an exposed end and/or an instrument. The system may further include an actuator member disposed within the body and configured to linearly oscillate the instrument within the instrument guide member a fixed distance past the exposed end. The systems and methods can increase patient comfort while empowering clinicians by simplifying interventions for musculoskeletal disorders.

  • Patent number: 11658043
    Abstract: A method of patterning a substrate is provided. The method includes modifying a surface of a metal-containing layer formed over a substrate positioned in a processing region of a processing chamber by exposing the surface of the metal-containing layer to plasma effluents of a chlorine-containing gas precursor and an oxygen-containing gas precursor to form a modified surface of the metal-containing layer. The method further includes directing plasma effluents of an inert gas precursor towards the modified surface of the metal-containing layer. The plasma effluents of the inert gas precursor are directed by applying a bias voltage to a substrate support holding the substrate. The method further includes anisotropically etching the modified surface of the metal-containing layer with the plasma effluents of the inert gas precursor to form a first recess having a first sidewall in the metal-containing layer.

  • Publication number: 20220285167
    Abstract: A method for selective barrier metal etching includes performing a hydrogen implantation process, in an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etch chamber, to chemically reduce an oxidized portion of a barrier metal layer formed within a feature in a metal layer on the barrier metal layer, and performing an etch process, in the ICP etch chamber, to remove the hydrogen implanted portion of the barrier metal layer.

  • Publication number: 20170159293
    Abstract: An improved girt for building construction that provides structural stability and significantly reduces thermal bridging in facade and cladding wall assemblies. The girt is made of a reinforced, fire-resistant, thermoset resin that does not readily burn. The girt completely eliminates metal-to-metal connection points between internal building structures such as columns or posts and external wall panels, resulting in substantially reduced thermal bridging and U values.

  • Patent number: 9484028
    Abstract: In one embodiment the present invention includes a method comprising receiving an acoustic input signal and processing the acoustic input signal with a plurality of acoustic recognition processes configured to recognize the same target sound. Different acoustic recognition processes start processing different segments of the acoustic input signal at different time points in the acoustic input signal. In one embodiment, initial states in the recognition processes may be configured on each time step.

  • Patent number: 9230550
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer system stores speech data for a plurality of speakers, where the speech data includes a plurality of feature vectors and, for each feature vector, an associated sub-phonetic class. The computer system then builds, based on the speech data, an artificial neural network (ANN) for modeling speech of a target speaker in the plurality of speakers, where the ANN is configured to discriminate between instances of sub-phonetic classes uttered by the target speaker and instances of sub-phonetic classes uttered by other speakers in the plurality of speakers.

  • Patent number: 8781825
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention improve methods of performing speech recognition. In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method comprising receiving a spoken utterance, processing the spoken utterance in a speech recognizer to generate a recognition result, determining consistencies of one or more parameters of component sounds of the spoken utterance, wherein the parameters are selected from the group consisting of duration, energy, and pitch, and wherein each component sound of the spoken utterance has a corresponding value of said parameter, and validating the recognition result based on the consistency of at least one of said parameters.
